Their sound is a modern take on blue-eyed soul; the tracks feature elements of classic Motown and Stax/Volt compositions with influences from dubstep, 1990s rap, and contemporary electronica.{{Cite web |last=Weinholtz |first=Bradley |date=2014-02-03 |title=Band of the Month - Caught A Ghost |url=http://thehub.musiciansfriend.com/band-month/band-of-the-month-caught-a-ghost |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017152341/http://thehub.musiciansfriend.com:80/band-month/band-of-the-month-caught-a-ghost |archive-date=2015-10-17 |access-date=2015-02-20 |website=The Hub}}{{Cite web |last=Kelley |first=Max |date=2013-07-27 |title=Music Appreciation: Caught a Ghost |url=http://popinsomniacs.com/2013/07/caught-a-ghost-appreciation-post/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116134132/http://www.popinsomniacs.com/2013/07/caught-a-ghost-appreciation-post/ |archive-date=2017-11-16 |access-date=2015-02-21 |website=Popinsomniacs}}
